By the Numbers
Twelve tracks, all hers, six with nobody else. The extra names are almost all sound designers rather than songwriters: Thomas Knak and Console co-produce, and the writing credits stay narrow. It is the record where the arrangements got more complicated and the authorship did not.
Vespertine came out on One Little Indian and Elektra in August 2001. It is built on thin-sounding instruments, with harp, celesta and microbeats, and "Hidden Place" and "Pagan Poetry" both came off it.
